NJ school delayed openings due to snow and cold – Tuesday, January 21st

Continued snow removal and dangerous cold are causing some New Jersey school districts to delay the start of classes on Tuesday

Sunday’s snow that melted on the roads refroze overnight Monday as temperatures dropped into what NJ 101.5 Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow calls the “danger zone” with overnight lows between 2 and 11. The wind chill could drop as low as -5.

Cold Weather Advisory has been issued to most of New Jersey for the first time ever. This new product was launched this fall and replaces the now retired Wind Chill Advisory. It means the same thing – wind and cold can quickly lead to hypothermia and/or frostbite.

The coldest weather of the week

Zarrow says high temperatures on Tuesday will only be in the upper teens with a light breeze providing zero wind chill. Tuesday night calls for temperatures between -3 and 10, but the wind will make it feel like below zero.
